Well actually, my friend, you don't witness a cremation (thankfully!)

I can well understand the confusion, though...this culture has a weird fascination with death. As though our spiritual needs (at the loss of a loved one) will be met by an orchestrated (and very fake and expensive) show...(i.e., funeral)

Here's the deal: "That's All, Folks!"

And you get a box of ashes, and you handle 'em your own way.

I don't mean to seem callow, I just honestly do not understand any other way of dealing with it.
